I upgraded my 2g iphone to a 3g iphone yesterday, and my backup won't work (itunes says it's corrupt) Is there a way to get my character data back?

What do you mean by 'upgraded'?
1) If you have the original iPhone 2G and updated the software to 2.0.1
or
2) Did you actually go to a store and buy a new iPhone 3G?
If you simply updated the software, then possibly. Connect to wifi/Internet, and play AF. Sometimes the game will recover your character from the server.
If you bought a new phone, most likely no. Characters are only tied to Device IDs, which are different on each device.

They are working on a way to transfer the data from one phone, to another. I'm not sure if that is planned in the next update or a later one.

Yes I bought a new phone.
I'm really discouraged now. I don't want to start all over again.

If you still have the 2g phone, you can create a new backup in iTunes, and then restore to the 3g one. I did this for both my phone and my wife's phone when we upgraded to 3g phones.

aardwolf--
Did this work for AF? If so, I'm surprised, because they attach game info to the device ID.
Maybe if you use your saved data, it passes on the new ID to it. Interesting...

Yes, it did work (for around a week.) Eventually AF stopped opening, and I removed it from my new iPhone and reinstalled. My account info was lost. |
